Question

You are a Creole living in Venezuela. Your family is wealthy, and you are well educated. Through your education, you have learned about Enlightenment ideas regarding life, liberty, and property. Although you are not in a position of power, you enjoy a comfortable life. When a revolution spreads in your country, you are faced with a decision to become a supporter of Venezuelan independence, or support Spain, and your current way of life. What do you do?

Answer 1

I would support the independence of the country where I am living.

I would support independence, because when you live in a country, no matter how much money you have, your happiness is made by the people around you.

If you see that the people around you are having a hard time and want an independent country, then you will not be happy.

If you're not happy, it's no use having a lot of money, health or education.

Answer:

I would support the independence of Venezuela to find my happiness and that of those around me.
